OMB IS A JOKE

This is the response discussing the change in the plans. OMB takes no responsibility.  They expect parties to respect and comply.  What a joke. The city objects to the plan, OMB approves it and then they say deal with the municipality.

 

 

Thank you for your email to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). When issuing decisions, the OMB expects that parties will respect and comply with the decision. If an individual or group feels a decision is not being adhered to, they can request a certified copy of the decision and file it with the courts where it can be enforced as a certified court order.

 

The building permit issued and construction that has occurred should be in conformity with the provisions of the municipality’s zoning by-law, whether or not those provisions were altered by a Board order. The OMB does not have the jurisdiction to investigate a development and or the issuance of a building permit.

 

If you feel the development is in violation of the provisions of the zoning by-law or policies of the official plan, you should raise your concerns with your municipality.  

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

 

Thank you,
